Topic: Choosing an AV Receiver

[hls]

hi guys. newbie here.
just got my bd player (samsung bd 1500)recently.
whats the ideal receiver for this player?
my choices are onkyo 507 & 607.
my ht room is not that big. probably 15-18 sqm.
i'd like to know your input guys. tia.

[disturbed]

hi henxs..15-18sqm is pretty big for me na..go for the latest receiver..i think power output of those avrs you mentioned are enough to na to fill your room..pag kulang pa din..lagyan mo na lang ng amp..so dapat kuha ka avrs na me pre-outs

Take the features into consideration, not the power ratings. If you're really scared about not having enough power, look into receivers with pre-outs.

mga sirs, ano ba ang mga cheapest avr's na may pre-out for 5.1 setup?

mga sirs, ano ba ang mga cheapest avr's na may pre-out for 5.1 setup?

Onkyo TX-SR706
Yamaha RX-V663 / RX-V665
HK AVR-255
Denon AVR 2309

Most of these are close to the 30k range.

[TinkerTailor]

thank you sir bued888 for the info.

mukhang antay antay lang pala muna.  Sana bilisan ng mga companies na yan na maglabas ng mga bago at magagandang avr para may magkamot. guerrilla tactics muna ang katulad ko na mahina at maliit ang resources; wait, wait, wait, then pounce when the enemy is weak. 

thanks again sir blued888

You're welcome! If you can't wait, you can ask PDVDers who import from the US. They might be able to offer lower prices. I think it will be in the 25k range. Or indeed if you can wait, that's the best thing to do.

[TinkerTailor]

yeah i can wait. if there's one thing ive learned it is to be patient. it will be so much sweeter when i'll complete the setup i want.

mahal itong mga gamit and mas mahal kung twice na bibili. there must be a thread here somewhere enumerating the common mistakes of beginners like me.   entry level avr+budget floorstanders..etc

mga bossing ano ba pre-outs? and ano nagagawa nito to future proof the avr?
thanks

[mike c]

mga bossing ano ba pre-outs? and ano nagagawa nito to future proof the avr?
thanks

you can connect an external amp to the pre-outs.  it makes the receiver future proof because you don't need to replace the receiver when you need more power.  (only when you need more features)

[sultan72]

salamat sir mike

[junkun13]

mga sir ano bang receiver need ko for my ps3, plasma and a 5.1 analog speaker?

thanks in advance!

[insomnia]

Onkyo TX-SR706

Hi,

I am new here. I just wanna ask for your suggestions.
Right now, i have an egreat NMT. My plan now is to buy a receiver.
I am choosing between the Yamaha RX-V365 or The V465.

I am more leaning towards the 365 because of the price.
will Dolby true HD help if I am only gonna use a Networked Media Tank?
Will all HD audio formats play with the V365? or the 465 is a better choice?

Please help me. And if you know where to buy cheap yamaha receivers, please also let me know where.

thanks!

i have yet to encounter mkv's with HI-DEF audio BUT for the sake of future proofing, i would pick the 465.

i'm not even sure if the 365's HDMI's can pass audio into the receiver, but it won't decode the HD audio formats.

Just a dumb question...take for instance the Onkyo TX-SR706...it has 125W/Ch @6 Ohms...why would anybody need pre-outs if you already have that much power? What size of room na hindi kaya nitong AVR? I can only imagine..na even for a very large room..the SPL will be deafening. 

[milken]

External amps take away the work load off the AVR so that the latter will concentrate more on sound processing and leave the amplification to the external amps.  An external amps provide more headroom and spaciousness, not necessary higher volume, and are generally advisable if you have hard to drive speakers.   

[threadlock]

Because that rating is not 5-channels/7-channels driven rating. The All-Channels Driven power rating of a receiver is usually lower than that. Most AVR manufacturers except Harman Kardon I think is using this style of power rating.

Here is some reading about it:

Nice Link there. So the 125 W/ch can probably lower in reality.

[blued888]

The Yamaha RX-V663 rated at 95wpc was tested to output only around approximately 40wpc all channels driven. (Read it somewhere, not sure if it's at Audioholics too.)

[DonT]

^ How about those Stereo Receivers which are rated 100W/ch (2.0), would they have lower ratings also? (e.g. Onkyo TX-8522) or is this only true for 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 systems?

[ninjababez®]

yaiks, what a revelation ..
considering that they are branded receivers ..

[junkun13]

for your room bro more than enough na yung klipsch mo 

san ba makakabili murang mga decoder or receiver?

[ninjababez®]

san ba makakabili murang mga decoder or receiver?
